5. Comorbid disorders is defined as the co-occurrence of more than one disorder in the
same individual. In its broadest sense, comorbidity can include the co-occurrence of medical
and psychiatric disorders.
Bipolar disorder is a disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from
depressive lows to manic highs. The exact cause of bipolar disorder isn’t known, but a
combination of genetics, environment and altered brain structure and chemistry may play a
role.
Personality disorder is a type of mental disorder in which you have a rigid and unhealthy
pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving. A person with a personality disorder has
trouble perceiving and relating to situations and people.

6. Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality
abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations,
delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily
functioning, and can be disabling. People with schizophrenia require lifelong
treatment.
Psychosis is a condition that affects the way your brain processes
information. It causes you to lose touch with reality. You might see, hear, or
believe things that aren't real. Psychosis is a symptom, not an illness.

11. How food affects your mood?

12. B vitamins:
People with low B12 levels have more brain inflammation and higher rates of depression and dementia.
Falling short on folate has been linked to low moods.
Iron:
Too little iron in the blood (iron-deficiency anemia) has been linked to depression.
Omega-3s:
These healthy fatty acids improve thinking and memory and, possibly, mood.
Zinc:
This nutrient helps control the body's response to stress. Low levels can cause depression. A great source
is oysters, which pack 500% of your daily need of zinc but have just 10 calories apiece. Mussels, which
are rich in brain-healthy selenium, are also a good choice.

13. Fermented foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and yogurt with live active
cultures, which provide good gut bacteria, may help reduce anxiety, stress, and
depression. Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel provide omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin
B12, zinc, selenium and other brain boosters. And dark chocolate has antioxidants,
which increase blood flow to the brain, aiding mood and memory.
